Just perfect

What can I say except perfect. From the initial communication through to great contact as our booking approached we knew this was going to be good. On entering the property and finding a welcome card & bottle of wine we quickly found a charming and well equipped rental. Based across 3 floors the bedrooms are at the top with a balcony & table and chairs off the main bedroom with stunning views across the estuary. The mid level also has a balcony and this is the well equipped kitchen a sitting area. Downstairs is the main bathroom with washing machine and tumble dryer and off here is a courtyard with patio chairs etc. This is also a great safe space for storing wetsuits and paddle boards etc. The house has plenty of equipment and a full kitchen etc so we didn’t miss anything loads of information also. Perfectly located for Island St and the centre of Salcombe without being bothered by any noise (except seagulls but that’s just Salcombe!!) We will definitely book again and would highly recommend Thanks Philip & Sarah for a lovely stay.

The best view

Waking up every morning a seeing that view over the harbour over to east portlemouth is the best thing about the property. It’s a comfortable little place with enough room for a family of four or even five. Also having a parking space on Coronation Road is handy and secure.

November weekend in Salcombe

Penn Cottage was exactly what we were looking for. It is finished to a high standard, makes great use of the available space and has a delightful seaside/beach hut feel about it. It is located very near the town centre. We will visit again!

Perfect little bolthole

We absolutely love staying at pretty Penn Cottage. The owners have created a picture perfect holiday home right in the heart of Salcombe. Moments away from Fore Street where you’ll find fabulous places to eat and shops to browse. The views from the bedroom balcony are heavenly and we loved to sit enjoying our morning coffee taking in the sights and sounds from the estuary. The cottage is beautifully finished and has everything you need for a very comfortable and relaxing stay.

It's a very cosy well equipped Cottage with amazing views from the main bedroom. Philip the owner was the perfect host, very helpful and even organised parking for us. Looking forward to another stay there soon.

Beautiful cottage in beautiful location

Everything about our stay was fantastic: Philip the owner is the perfect host, from beginning to end. The cottage is delightful, equipped with everything you could possibly want/need, with the most magnificent views, and so centrally located in Salcombe that walking down to the shops takes a few minutes, and yet it's so quiet. We will most definitely be booking again.

Comfortable cottage in a great location

Tucked away in a small street behind the popular Fortescue pub, Penn Cottage offers a great location, with superb views across the harbour from the main bedroom's balcony. Well appointed and well managed, it's perfect for a relaxing getaway, with easy access to Salcombe's facilities. Can't recommend too highly.

Excellent!

This is a really good holiday let! Well appointed and maintained, spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated, dog-friendly and a super location in Salcombe. The view of the estuary from the main-bedroom balcony is as good as any in the town. Booking was straight-forwards. The owner, Philip, is very well organised and friendly and all the information you need for your holiday arrives in good time. It has 'the feel' that your staying at the cottage of a friend or family member, rather than a holiday rental. I'd have no hesitation in recommending this property to anybody.

Fantastic!

A great property & wonderful owners. Fantastic central location but off the busy main Street. So homely and such nice touches for example all the supplies of basics, which are a pain taking / buying on holiday, like dishwasher tablets / washing powder / tea bags to the parking permit. Philip was so helpful from our first enquiry right throughout our stay. We are looking to rebook for next year already.

Stunning

Penn Cottage was an absolute joy to stay in. It's immaculately well presented, perfectly located and has the most breathtaking views of the estuary. Philip was brilliant from the moment I booked and all the way through the process. There really couldn't have been anything else that we could have asked for. Will recommend again and again and would love to return sometime.

Idyllic Cottage

Penn Cottage is so cosy, homely and is beautifully decorated to the highest standard with everything you could possibly need for a self-catering holiday. The beds and bedding so comfortable we slept really well. Easy walking distance to lovely pubs/restaurants nearby and amazing views of the harbour from our bedroom balcony. Philip the owner really helpful and a delight to deal with. Highly recommend.

Why they chose this property

When we found Penn Cottage it was love at first sight. It is a delightful cottage in a central quiet location. We have furnished it to a high standard to make a welcoming home from home.

Salcombe is a special place, in and out of season. It is big enough to offer a lot of activities and variety shops, pubs and restaurants, yet small enough to be friendly. The estuary is a fabulous 'play area' for adults and children alike - with beaches, boating, sailing, walking, day trips and more.
